Adrift, ashore is a poetic tale of a mans journey in search of his lost song. The song is a metaphor for all that he longs for, to be free as a bird, to flow as a river, to be rooted as a tree, to hold on to ones own mystery as the moon, to be still as a mountain and to travel both inwards & outwards as the sea.
In this pilgrimage towards his song, he encounters these very natural elements that reflect his inner state – a cuckoo, a river, a banyan tree, the moon, a mountain and the sea. He opens his heart out to them, explaining with great feeling, his loss and his longing. They in turn offer him words of wisdom that comfort and guide him towards his song and himself.
Adrift, ashore is a poetic tale in six chapters, each one a deep, personal and spiritual conversation about the souls journey.
Circa l’autore
My life has been a journey of discovering his life’s purpose, of learning how to spend my life more and more meaningfully. A road in this journey has taken me towards using communication to create positive social change through Centre of Gravity, an organisation I co-founded in 2005. Another road, a more winding one, has taken me inwards, towards a discovery of my own voice through poetry. My influences in writing range from Tagore to Rilke, Steinbeck to Marquez, but it is the poetry of Pablo Neruda that taught me to write and write with fire in my heart. My poetry covers a range of subjects from love to cities to artists to spiritual quests. I hope, my poetry can help readers celebrate life for what it is and offer them a ray of light when they find themselves in the darkness. Adrift, ashore is my second book — Bala
